Most of the Jews of Oświęcim were murdered in the Holocaust. Many died of harsh conditions in the ghettos or lost their lives in concentration and death camps. Among the few who survived and tried to return home were Morris Zaidband, Ben Sonnenschein, and Lola Fuchs.
Lola Fuchs was born in Oświęcim in 1928 as Lola Leah Silbiger in an Orthodox Jewish family of six. Her family belonged to the Chasidim from Bobowa. She survived the ghetto in Będzin and the concentration camps in Wrocław, Peterswaldau and Langenbielau. After the war she emigrated to Israel where she worked at an orange plantation until 1963. In 1963, along with her husband, she emigrated to the USA. She had three children: two daughters born in Israel and one son born in the USA. She was interviewed on July 25, 2001 in Ocean, New Jersey, USA.
Shortly after coming back to Oświęcim all the survivors left the town and emigrated from Poland. What do you think, why did they leave?
